Antares Vision Group is an Italian multinational company that provides quality control and traceability solutions to protect products and supply chains. The company was founded in 2007 by Emidio Zorzella and Massimo Bonardi in the province of Brescia, Italy. Both founders had a background in electronic engineering and had previously established SemTec, an optoelectronics laboratory, in 1998. Their experience in developing optical measurement and vision systems laid the groundwork for Antares Vision, which initially focused on creating vision systems to monitor drug compliance in the pharmaceutical sector.
The business operates through a comprehensive ecosystem of technologies, including both hardware and software, that provides inspection systems for quality control, track-and-trace solutions for anti-counterfeiting, and smart data management. Its offerings are organized into the DIAMIND software suite, which manages production sites, regulatory compliance, and supply chain logistics, including warehouse and enterprise-level operations. The company primarily serves the life sciences, food and beverage, cosmetics, and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industries. Its revenue model is based on the sale, installation, and maintenance of these integrated systems.
Key milestones include a pivotal partnership with Sanofi in 2012, which positioned Antares Vision among the top global players in traceability. The company expanded internationally, opening offices in the United States, Brazil, France, and South Korea between 2013 and 2016. A significant step was its entry into the Italian Stock Exchange in April 2019. The firm has grown through strategic acquisitions, including FT System for the beverage sector (2019), Applied Vision for container inspection (2020), and ACSIS Inc. for warehouse and distribution management (2022). In 2021, the company rebranded to Antares Vision Group and moved to the STAR segment of the Milan Stock Exchange. For the full year 2024, the company reported sales of €207.49 million.
